Writing this book was hard work, but also a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who made it
possible, especially Jinny Verdonck, Thomas Kraft, Ricky Nkrumah, Kirk Bateman, and the
whole Apress crew. A big Thanks goes also to the community that continuously extends and
improves J2ME Polish!
Matlab is an ideal tool for simulating digital communications systems, Thanks to
its easy scripting language and excellent data visualization capabilities. One of the
most frequent simulation tasks in the field of digital communications is bit-error-
rate testing of modems. The bit-error-rate performance of a receiver is a figure of
merit that allows different designs to be compared in a fair manner. Performing
bit-error-rate testing withMatlab is very simple, but does require some prerequisite
knowledge
